Instant Rava Appe | Instant Paniyaram | Kid’s Tiffin Box

Paniyaram or appe is a traditional South Indian dish. This is a twist to the authentic South Indian Appe recipe. Instant rava appe is an easier alternative to regular paniyaram or appe. And when it comes to making such instant recipes best option is to make a batter by mixing rava or semolina and curd.

Though it’s an instant recipe, you need to keep the mixture for 20 – 30 minutes to make softer appe or idli. Semolina will soak up moisture from curd and water during this resting period and the idli/ appe will be softer. You can use idli rava (rava rice) or plain rava or sooji for this recipe.

This is a pan-fried and quicker version of idli. You may make them with regular idli batter. Idli batter is basically a paste of rice and lentils. This is then fermented and steamed to make idli. Idli is steamed whereas this is shallow fried. Read my recipe of instant rava idli here.

In fact, there are many other options to make idli recipes. You can use only lentils to make these soft idlis. Like moong dal idli, oats idli, chana dal idli, vermicelli idli etc are on my to-do list for my blog.

There is a different pan to make these appe or paniyaram. These are quick recipes and takes lesser time to make.

Notes

Add soda or eno just before pouring the batter into appe pan. Thats why I have divided the batter into batches. Otherwise eno will have no effect for 2nd batch and so on.
